TACTICS

During Combat Corpulent ghouls flank with each other in order to sneak attack their opponents. If a ghoul successfully paralyzes an opponent, it abandons this tactic and immediately begins feeding on its victim, ignoring other foes.

Morale Corpulent ghouls fight until destroyed, exploding in a shower of gore and disease-ridden flesh.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Command Ghouls (Su)

A dread ghoul can automatically command all normal ghouls within 30 feet as a free action. Normal ghouls never attack a dread ghoul unless compelled.

Create Spawn (Su)

Any creature killed by a dread ghoul that lies undisturbed and uneaten until the next midnight rises as a dread ghoul at that time. The new dread ghoul is not under the control of its creator. A protection from evil or gentle repose spell cast on the corpse prevents this.

Death Burst (Ex)

Overstuffed from ravenous consumption, the bellies of these corpulent ghouls explode in a burst of filth when killed. All adjacent creatures are exposed to this gore and must make a DC 17 Fortitude save to avoid being sickened for 1d6 rounds and contracting ghoul fever.
